Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who should probably ask for a refund from Boston University for leading her astray on an education, slammed Elon Musk as "one of the most unintelligent billionaires" she has ever met.
AOC's comments were part of a 90-minute-long conversation with fans on Instagram.
What really launched New York's most prominent socialist into a flurry of dizzying projection are Musk's ongoing efforts to clean up an out-of-control bureaucracy through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team.
"This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met, or seen, or witnessed," she whinnied. "Which, you know, you can probably even glean that from watching these people on TV."
"Anyways, all of that is to say, is that they don't do their homework. Clearly, like, they're putting 19-year-olds in with the Treasury," she continued. "This dude is not smart."
NEW: @AOC calls @ElonMusk, like, "not smart."

Thoughts? 🤣pic.twitter.com/07U01HSc7Y
AOC is referencing reports that Musk has recruited a group of young tech workers between 19-to-25 years old to carry out DOGE’s goals of cutting trillions from the federal government.
This is a weird flex since her target audience at all times are teens and pre-teens who think she's super-edgy. Not to mention, Democrats believe teenagers are so worldly that they should lower the minimum age to vote.
While you might have thought one jab at Musk's intellect would have sufficed, Alexy from the Bronx wasn't done. She continued by warning of the dangers of having a stupid person in government.
No, I'm not kidding.
Grab All the Popcorn: AOC Has a Meltdown When Elon Says She's Just Not That Smart
"Um, and uh, and the danger in not, in the lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise, um, that Elon has," AOC elucidated. "I mean this guy is one of the most morally vacant, but also just least knowledgeable about these systems that we really know of."
Catch that? She literally said nothing with that word salad. I defy you to make sense of the bottom-line message she's trying to convey in those two sentences.
"Um, but the point is, is that, what that means is that they're going to hit a button inevitably," she added. "They are going to hit a button and things can go sideways."
Things have been going so sideways for the last four years that AOC didn't even realize the ship was being righted. By President Trump. His administration. And yes, by Elon Musk.
What bizarro world are we living in that a former bartender who once predicted the world would end in 2032 due to global warming is calling the founder of SpaceX, a company seeking to enable the colonization of Mars, the CEO of Tesla, the developer of Neuralink, a brain-computer interface, and the wealthiest man on the planet ... stupid?
Perhaps this is just a continuation of her ongoing courtship of Musk since 2022. Who remembers this banger?
Stop hitting on me, I’m really shy ☺️

It wasn't all that long ago when she and Musk engaged in a battle of wits, and the congresswoman went down much like Vizzini in "The Princess Bride."
AOC began by mocking Republicans over a potential government shutdown in 2023 using "boy math" and was promptly flattened when Elon rightly pointed out, "She's just not that smart."
Anxiously looking forward to Musk's response this time around.
